Those are the easy ones. You could also say HDMI but the iPad has that via a dongle....you could mention keyboard dock that offers the following itself:-keyboard-mouse-2nd battery-usb port-sd card reader-screen protection-acts as a standReply

You do realize that Apple SELL a keyboard for iPad?They also sell an SD card reader.They also sell a case/screen protector/stand.

If you feel it's vitally important to have these things all in one unit, go right ahead. But it's simply ignorant to try to imply that there is neither a keyboard nor an SD card reader for iPad. There are also, if you feel this is important, third party/external batteries.

Yes, there is no USB. There's also no serial port, no floppy disk drive slot, and no stylus. Feel free to complain about how the lack of all of these dooms it in the market.Reply

What about someone who just wants a tablet that works, and really doesn't care about "flexibility and freedom"? My mom falls into that category. So does my wife. So do most of my non-geek friends. And they all love the iPad.

Flexibility and freedom just aren't important to the average consumer, which is what the iPad is targeting.Reply
